-<p>It is true that one of the original goals of the DragonFly BSD project was performance-oriented, the project sought to do SMP in more straightforward, compos-able, understandable and algorithmic-ally superior ways to the work being done in other operating system kernels. This results of this process have become staggeringly obvious with the 3.0 and 3.2 releases of DragonFly, which saw a significant amount of polishing and general scalability work, the culmination of which can be seen in the following graph.</p>

<p>The following graph charts the performance of the PostgreSQL 9.3 development version as of <a href="http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=b0fc0df9364d2d2d17c0162cf3b8b59f6cb09f67" target="_blank">late June 2012</a> on DragonFly BSD 3.0 and 3.2, FreeBSD 9.1, NetBSD 6.0 and Scientific Linux 6.2 running Linux kernel version 2.6.32. The tests were performed using system defaults on each platform with pgbench as the test client with a scaling factor of 800. The test system in question was a dual-socket Intel Xeon X5650 with 24GB RAM.</p>
